Automatic volumetry of the cerebrospinal fluid space in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Article in Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders extra, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo measure the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space volume in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH), we developed a software that allows us to automatically measure the regional CSF space and compared the volumes of the ventricle systems (VS), Sylvian fissures (SF) and sulci at high convexity and midline (SHM) among INPH patients, Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and healthy volunteers (HVs).
methodsFifteen INPH patients, 15 AD patients and 15 HVs were retrospectively selected for this study. 3D-T1 MR images were obtained. We improved upon an automatic gray matter volume system to measure CSF spaces, adopting new regions for the template of INPH-characteristic CSF spaces and measured them. The VS, SF and SHM volumes were calculated relative to the intracranial volume.
resultsThe relative SHM volume of the INPH group (0.0237 ± 0.0064) was the smallest among the 3 groups (AD: 0.0477 ± 0.0109, HV: 0.0542 ± 0.0045). The VS (0.0499 ± 0.0135) and SF (0.0187 ± 0.0037) volumes of the INPH group were significantly larger than those of the AD (VS: 0.0311 ± 0.0075, SF: 0.0146 ± 0.0026) and HV groups (VS: 0.0167 ± 0.0065, SF: 0.0111 ± 0.017).
conclusionAutomatic volume measurement can be used to delineate the characteristic changes in CSF space in patients with INPH and is useful in the diagnosis of INPH.
